Start with a photo worth painting
Choose a clear subject, get close enough to see the important details, and look for even light. The best photo is usually the one that reads clearly at a glance.
How to choose the right photoGood detail has to fit the page
The most detailed design is rarely the most paintable. Tiny numbered areas are hard to see and slow to fill. PBNify keeps the subject recognizable while leaving room for a brush.
